Alice

Descriptions

Designed to encouraging storytelling, unlike most other programming languages Users can place objects from Alice’s gallery into the virtual world that they have imagined.

Program by dragging and dropping tiles that represent logical structures.Manipulate Alice’s camera and lighting to make further enhancements.

Alice is an innovative 3D programming environment that makes it easy to create an animation for telling a story, playing an interactive game, or a video to share on the web. Alice is a freely available teaching tool designed to be a student’s first exposure to object-oriented programming. It allows students to learn fundamental programming concepts in the context of creating animated movies and simple video games. In Alice, 3-D objects (e.g., people, animals, and vehicles) populate a virtual world and students create a program to animate the objects.

Suitable for Key Stage 3 + Alice is a FREE a teaching tool designed to be a student’s first exposure to object-oriented programming.

In Alice, 3-D objects (e.g., people, animals, and vehicles) populate a virtual world and students create a program to animate the objects.

In Alice’s interactive interface, students drag and drop graphic tiles to create a program, where the instructions correspond to standard statements in a production oriented programming language.

Alice is conjoined with its IDE. There is no syntax to remember. However, it supports the full object-based programming, event driven model of programming.
